Oxygen feeds the body, supports the immune system, destroys toxic substances and promotes new cell growth. Oxygen is our primary source of energy; it is the fuel required by the body for the proper operation of all major systems. Usually we get all the oxygen we need from breathing atmospheric air. Oxygen therapy is intended to make more oxygen available to the body.
Our Summit-to-Sea Grand Dive hyperbaric chamber safely increases the body’s oxygen uptake by raising the barometric pressure. The chamber is pressurized to allow the individual to experience atmospheric pressures greater than normal environmental pressures.
Oxygen therapy forces oxygen into all of the body’s fluids, including the plasma, the lymph, the synovial (joint) fluid and the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. These fluids can carry the extra oxygen even to areas where circulation is poor (or blocked), either by trickling past blockages or by seeping into the affected area.
